Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "First Edition" stated. Number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 -- the first printing. Boards resist opening past 80 degrees -- as-new unread. The senator (if we're willing to accept her claim of authorship) divides her book into chapters by area of achievement -- "Saving Lives," "A Woman's Art," "Women Look at the World" -- then in each case profiles several historic figures, followed by one or more "Women of Today" whose achievement are, by implication, comparable. Presumably the intent was to point out that there are contemporary heroines worthy of admiration. So Elizabeth Dole stands comparable in stature to Clara Barton? Sally Ride to Amelia Earhart (whose disappearance alone has merited entire books, but who here gets the standard eight pages)? Barbara Walters and Cokie Roberts are on a par with Margaret Bourke-White? OK fine. Dated 2005, inscribed, and signed (full name) in blue felt tip by Kay Bailey Hutchinson (who we are to believe found time to research and write this book without assistance while serving in the U.S. Senate) to the half-title page. There is an additional, NON-authorial gift inscription to the blank FFE. (Potential buyers in Westminster, Calif. and Derry N.H., and others unsure of the meaning of the word "inscribed" -- which indicates the author has written in this book words OTHER THAN HER OWN NAME -- are strongly urged to closely examine the attached scans before purchasing.) 384 pp. including index. Reduced from $27. Inscribed by Author(s).
